Chapter 202: Progress is quite fast! (Subscribe)

"ah?"

"Teacher Shen is also a member of the Red Rose Band?"

Yang Nian was shocked.

Not only her, but the other three mentors were also shocked.

"Is Mr. Shen really a member of your band?"

Li Kun followed up with further questions.

"Yes, but he prefers to work behind the scenes."

Lin Xiamo nodded with certainty.

Before coming to the show, Shen Qiushan had already told her that he could even come to help if necessary.

“Chen Qiushan?”

"I'm curious, is this the author of The Three-Body Civilization?"

Zhou Dawei took over the conversation.

"Brother Dawei, that's him!"

"He is not only a famous writer, but also the song 'Red Rose' just now was written by him." Li Kun answered without Lin Xiamo saying anything.

“Wow!”

“That’s amazing!”

"Nebula Award winners and famous writers are all members of your band!"

Zhou Dawei couldn't help but sigh, then said with a smile: "It's not too late for me to change my mind now!"

"Although I'm not good at bands, after all, I've been involved in music for so many years, so I can still give you some advice!"

"Brother Dawei, you have no moral principles!"

"Didn't you say you had given up before?"

"That's why I said that I've changed my mind now!"

Zhou Dawei spread his hands.

Next, the four mentors started arguing about how to recruit the new students.

For a variety show, the competition among mentors for the contestants is one of the highlights, and veterans like Zhou Dawei and Li Kun who often appear on variety shows are also good at creating an atmosphere.

The four mentors spoke one after another, making the audience laugh several times.

"No matter how much we say, it's useless. The decision is still in the hands of the four of them."

"Please make your choice!"

After a heated debate among the mentors, they finally threw the question back to Lin Xiamo and the other three.

"In fact, we had already discussed it before we came here. If Teacher Yang Nian is willing to turn on the light, we will join her team!"

"So, our choice is, Instructor Yang Nian!"

Lin Xiamo directly announced the band's decision.

“yes!”

"Welcome to my team!!"

Yang Nian was overjoyed and jumped up from her seat excitedly. Then she walked directly onto the stage and hugged Lin Xiamo and the other three one by one.

Li Kun made a distressed expression: "What a pity, what a pity!"

"But since you have chosen to join Teacher Yang Nian's team, you will be opponents from now on!"

"If I meet our team in the next PK match, I will show no mercy!"

Yang Nian immediately counterattacked: "Then see you on the stage~!"

Lin Xiamo and three other people who successfully formed a team sat in the promotion area. During the subsequent recording of the program, they basically acted as a human background board, and the camera would only bring them into the camera when it occasionally scanned the panoramic view.

Also, when new members join Yang Nian’s team, there will also be shots of them.

In short, the recording of the team competition went very smoothly.

The Red Rose Band has taken a successful first step.

weekend.

Shen Qiushan brought his two children to the home of his father-in-law Lin Moxuan.

We agreed before that I would bring Shen Yixiao here when I have time.

When Shen Qiushan said similar things in the past, most of the time he was perfunctory, but this time he was very positive. Early on Saturday morning, he drove his two children to his father-in-law's house.

For the old couple Lin Moxuan and Chen Qingzhu, they naturally hope that their grandchildren can come often. Once people get older, the greatest pleasure is probably to have their children and grandchildren around them and enjoy family happiness.

At this moment, Chen Qingzhu and Lin Xiamo were busy in the kitchen, while Shen Qiushan was playing Go with Lin Moxuan. Shen Yixiao was watching the game in a wheelchair, but he spent most of his time replying to WeChat messages. From time to time, he would take a picture of the game between his father and grandfather and send it to Lin Yufei, who was proficient in Go.

In the kitchen.

While trying to cut the vegetables, Lin Xiamo asked, "Mom, is this the right way to cut cucumbers?"

"Cut it diagonally like this into diamond-shaped slices"

Chen Qingzhu’s hands-on guidance.

Then she suddenly felt something was wrong: "Hey, Momo, why did you want to learn how to cut vegetables? This is not your style."

"Don't you always say that I'm in my thirties and can't even cook, so I'll never get married?" Lin Xiamo said as she tried again according to what her mother had just taught her.

“That’s right!”

Chen Qingzhu nodded: "Although I don't have to confine myself to the kitchen, if I can't even cook a meal for my children, wouldn't that be a failure?"

"Well, so I'm going to learn some cooking skills!"

"That's right!"

"If you don't understand anything, just ask me!"

Chen Qingzhu was very pleased with her daughter's transformation.

What she didn't know was that the reason why Lin Xiamo wanted to learn cooking was because she was now the "boss" of a bar.

The "Red Rose Bar" run by her and Shen Qiushan is a type of lounge bar. In addition to selling alcohol, it also provides meals. As the proprietress, although Lin Xiamo does not need to cook herself, she still has to know how to do it.

Who knows if it might come in handy someday.

Also, Lin Xiamo's current thoughts are completely different from before. Before, marriage was still very far away for her. She even thought that if she couldn't meet someone who satisfied her, she would not get married and live alone.

So she had never thought about learning to cook, but now it was different. Not only did she have to get married, but she also had to be a stepmother to Shen Yanran and Shen Yixiao.

So, if she, as a stepmother, can’t even cook a sumptuous meal, wouldn’t she be a failure?

Especially, if Shen Yixiao or Shen Yanran bring their respective significant others home in the future, they can’t eat out for every meal!

As a hostess, you don’t need to have superb cooking skills, but you have to be able to perform at the critical moment.

To put it simply, the "fairy" came down to earth, and Lin Xiamo began to seriously consider the daily necessities of life and how to run a good family!

In Lin Jiayu's room.

She was chatting privately with Shen Yanran.

"Yanran, how are you and that Xiao Sinian doing?"

Lin Jiayu was gossiping about her "eldest niece's" love affair while chewing potato chips.

"Nothing."

"He's just a blockhead!"

Shen Yanran pouted her lips: "Isn't he from the school news club? I also joined the news club. Isn't he working in a milk tea shop outside the school? I also went to work there, but he didn't understand what I meant!"

"Maybe he's pretending not to understand."

Lin Jiayu took another piece of potato chips and stuffed it into his mouth.

"ah?"

"Why?"

Shen Yanran blinked her big eyes, as if she had discovered something extraordinary.

"Those who can be admitted to our university are not necessarily extremely smart, but they are definitely not stupid. Some of them are even the best among their peers."

"That Xiao Sinian is a well-known figure in the school. There must be many girls around him. How could he not understand what girls are thinking? So, I think he is just pretending not to understand!"

Although Lin Jiayu herself has little experience, she has read too many romance novels.

As the saying goes, you have never eaten pork, but you have seen a pig run!

Therefore, Lin Jiayu's theoretical knowledge is quite rich, and she is more than qualified to be a military advisor to Shen Yanran, a novice in love.

"So, he doesn't like me at all?"

Shen Yanran's eyes dimmed instantly. This was the first time she felt attracted to a boy, but she came to such a heartbreaking "truth" that she found it difficult to accept for a while.

“It’s hard to say.”

"Based on your description of him, I think he might also have low self-esteem!"

"self-abasement?"

"Why should he feel inferior? He is so handsome and is recognized as the most handsome boy in our department!"

Shen Yanran was even more confused.

"What's the use of just being handsome!"

Lin Jiayu shook his head and said, "You have asked about his situation, haven't you? His hometown is in a cold and harsh place, and he is from the countryside. His family is not well off, and he has been working part-time since his freshman year."

"How about you, by contrast?"

"A kid who grew up in a big city like Sanjiang and has a famous writer as his father can now be considered a second-generation rich!"

"He's a boy, and his family background is far inferior to yours. It would be strange if he didn't feel inferior to you!"

Shen Yanran raised her eyebrows, half believing and half doubting: "Is it really like this?"

"I think so!"

"But I don't care about these at all!"

"Just because you don't care doesn't mean he doesn't care."

"Then what should I do?"

Shen Yanran touched her chin and asked Lin Jiayu, her aunt and best friend, for her opinion.

“Give up!”

Lin Jiayu sighed: "Most of the endings of rich girls and poor boys are not very good. Only in movies and TV shows may there be a perfect ending, but in reality, most of them are still tragedies."

"For example, your father and my eldest sister!"

"ah??"

Shen Yanran curled her lips unwillingly: "Not really!"

“Anyway, there are many examples in reality.”

Lin Jiayu shrugged: "But, you still have to believe in love. Who knows, maybe you are one of the few who have a good ending!"

"Yeah, I think so too!"

Shen Yanran rekindled her hope and nodded with certainty.

"Yanran, I'm not trying to persuade you!"

"I still don't think you two are a good match, and I don't think your dad would agree!"

"When my dad and mom were together, didn't grandpa also disapprove?"

“So, it didn’t end well.”

"Forget it, you'll just pour cold water on me!"

Shen Yanran pursed her lips and said the words that many young people like to say: "My life, I decide for myself!"

"Okay, okay, you decide!"

Lin Jiayu spread his hands, then said with a smile: "By the way, Yanran, your Aunt Xiaoya is really determined to be a stepmother to you and Shen Yixiao. She sent me a WeChat message last night, telling me that she will send your father a loving breakfast every day starting next week!"

"ah?"

The corners of Shen Yanran's mouth twitched slightly: "Fang Xiaoya is really outrageous, she is only two years older than me!"

"If your dad likes it, it's actually quite good. You can still play with Xiaoya, and there won't be any conflicts between you and your stepmother."

Lin Jiayu teased with a smile.

“It’s outrageous just to think about it!”

Shen Yanran sighed, and then complained: "However, my dad is becoming more and more popular now. There are always senior sisters and even female teachers in the school who add my WeChat for no apparent reason. They are all very nice to me. I can feel that they just want to take a roundabout way to take me down first. They are all eager to be my stepmother."

As the two were talking, Lin Xiamo knocked on the door and called them to the restaurant for dinner.

Lin Jiayu's mouth was never idle, but when she heard that it was time to eat, she immediately put down the potato chips in her hand and excitedly pulled Shen Yanran to the restaurant.

The whole family gathered together.

Lin Moxuan raised a glass of wine out of habit.

"We are all family, why do you still have to say a few words?"

Chen Qingzhu gave his wife a speechless look.

"We have to speak up when we have family members!"

"Besides, Xiaoxiao and Yanran are already adults, which means that we are all adults now!"

As he spoke, Lin Moxuan looked at Shen Yixiao who was sitting in a wheelchair, and said in a serious tone: "Xiaoxiao, it is true that being brave and righteous is a noble quality, but next time you must do what you can. I just heard from your father that the other side has several little hooligans, and they have an absolute advantage in numbers."

"You are lucky this time. The other party is not a vicious criminal, but you can't leave your life to luck. If you encounter a similar situation in the future, call the police first and never confront them head-on."

Although Shen Yixiao didn't quite agree with his grandfather's words in his heart, he was still very obedient on the surface, and immediately nodded in a well-behaved manner: "Grandpa is right, I will pay attention to it in the future!"

"Um."

"That's right."

Lin Moxuan nodded with satisfaction.

Then his eyes fell on his daughter Lin Xiamo: "Momo, as for your singing, it's fine to have it as a hobby, but you can't put too much energy into it."

"You just arrived at Sanjiang University, so you still need to perform well at work and strive for progress!"

"Also, if there are suitable male teachers in the school, we can try to get along with them. The teachers at Sanjiang University are always of good quality."

Lin Xiamo didn't expect that the second person her father was talking about was her. She must have been stimulated by the performance videos of the Red Rose Band on the Internet. She, the "good girl", showed a completely different side of herself on the Internet.

"knew!"

Lin Xiamo nodded perfunctorily.

"Don't just know it, take it to heart!"

"Xiaoxiao is still young, it's normal for her to make mistakes occasionally. How old are you?"

Lin Moxuan had a stern face and acted like Director Lin: "If you have the energy to start a band, go find a partner!"

"There are outstanding unmarried male teachers in the school. Get in touch with them more and give them a chance!"

Lin Moxuan is still confident in his daughter. He knows that his daughter has no shortage of suitors, but the main reason is that his daughter doesn't give them a chance.

"Yes, it's already in contact!"

Seeing that her father was never going to stop, Lin Xiamo replied directly.

"In contact?"

"That's good news!"

Lin Moxuan nodded with slight relief.

Chen Qingzhu was also quite surprised and asked: "Momo, what are the other party's conditions? How far have they come?"

"The conditions are okay."

Lin Xiamo secretly glanced at Shen Qiushan from the corner of her eye, and then added: "Well, the progress is quite fast!"
